Tips[]
- Wilson's favorite food is Bacon and Eggs, meaning he gains 15 bonus when consuming the food.
- The earliest one can build a Meat Effigy is on day 11. Shave as soon as possible for 1 hair, and shave the Long Beard for the other 3. This is not the most efficient way, but it is the quickest (outside of lowering to hunt Beardlings).
- As the Beard doesn't grow longer after 16 days and the player loses it on resurrection or by changing characters, it is most efficient to shave after every sixteenth day, unless Winter is coming.
- In terms of gaining Sanity, shaving every 5 days will yield the best results.
- Wilson's Beard will take exactly 15 days to grow to its full length (full length at the beginning of day 16). Since Winter starts on day 21 on default settings, the player can easily survive the cold with just a full Beard and a Thermal Stone. The Beard, unlike clothing, does not have durability and will provide insulation so long as he does not shave.
- Wilson can still shave the Beard after four days (for one Beard Hair) and still have a full Beard by winter. It is also possible to shave after reaching a long Beard length (8 days), as while Wilson will not start winter with a full Beard, the first few days are more mild and will allow for time to grow.
- It is advised to shave at the beginning of Summer Season due to the Beard slower the rate at which Wilson cooling.
- Storing Any Meat Foods in your Beard Storage Slots will not anger Bunnymen if you are near them.
- The Transmute Ore II Skill that converts Gold Nuggets into Nitre is a good way to create massive amounts of Gunpowder after converting Meats into Eggs with a Birdcage, after in Gold with Pig King. Igniting a stack of 40 can deal 8000 damage to bosses and make it more easy to deal with raid bosses.
